Hi Bill. My first deployment was TrixBox. The two I am currently working on are "Plain Old Asterisk". Keep in mind that I'm an old Linux jock, and a 30-year veteran of programming, so the only thing I had to learn was Asterisk. If you pick that route, you'll need to learn Linux (or BSD, or whatever you're going to us as an OS) as well as Asterisk. As far as tutorials, just pick up a copy of "Asterisk: The Future of Telephony." Most of the "howto" for compilation is there, albeit somewhat dated until the newer version of the book hits the press. I will say that I don't ever intend on using a GUI again. I'm so used to text files for configuration of everything else I use Linux for that the manual configuration seems so much more natural. That's my two cents.
